Brian Scalabrine talks about his transition to broadcasting

SI.com's Jake Fischer recently wrote an article on Brian Scalabrine, highlighting Scal's long journey to the NBA, his career in the league, and his post-retirement gig as the Celtics' color analyst for away games on Comcast Sports Net.

There are some greats quotes included from the White Mamba himself as well as Mike Gorman, Tommy Heinsohn, and a couple of Scalabrine's former coaches.

The article begins with Scal recalling his first broadcast three years ago for a Celtics preseason game against Fenerbahce in Turkey. He was unable to pronounce the name of any Fenerbahce players besides Bo McCalebb, so he found ways to incorporate Bo's name into every play so he wouldn't have to talk about anyone else.
